The facility boasts three outdoor practice fields with natural grass, plus an enclosed field with Field Turf. Logistically, each field is identical to the game field at LP Field, from the 100-yard length, to the geographic orientation. The longitudinal center of each field is 24 degrees west of north, just like the field at LP Field, enabling the Titans to practice in the same slanting sunlight they face on Sundays. The site, selected from more than 60 sites reviewed, was purchased from MetroCenter properties. The facility occupies a peninsula that joins into the lake across from the Fountain Square commercial development. Among the leading builders in Middle Tennessee, Powell was chosen for its state-of-the-art construction planning and building techniques.
